LITERATURE. A TREATISE on DIET with a view to establish, on Practi cal Grounds, a Systern.of Rules for the Prevention and Cure of tie Diseases incident to a Disordered ,Sta-: of the Digestive Functions. _By J. A. PARtS, Mow of the Royal C o llege of Physkiaris, &c., &c.---London. ljnderwoods. A work of much popular-interest has been lately published by 'Ds. Paris, on ihe'Stibject of Diet. We have certainly long possessed many works on this sub ject, but this-possesses the merit of having corrected the errors into which previous writers had fallen, and the author argues each point with so much clearness, and With such, logical precision, that the reader can not but assent to his propositions. He appears 4). tla to be what may be termed a- Liberal, and considers many of die privations WhiCh the Saatch-a-ways, in culcate, as necessary for the restoration of health, ,as ,1 little 'other than ascetic austerities. He, however, condemns the use of highly concentrated aliment, and' supports his opinions by various illustrations and ana logies. Horses fed on concentrated aliment are inva riably liable to disease, from a deranged state of their digestion, whence arise broken wind, staggers, blind ness, &c. The intolerable odour perceptible, when post-horses are fed with oats and beans only, he con ceises to afford sufficient proof of the mischief that arises from a too concentrated diet. The seine re mark applies to men,' and he maintains that the use of chocolate, butter, cream, sugar, and rich s nice, without a due admixture of bread, potatoes, and other less nutritive aliment, is invariably attended with dis ordered digestion. " Time Kamschadales are fre quently compelled to live on fish-oil, but they judi ciously form it into a paste with saw-dust, or the rasped fibres of indigenous plants." . The author also maintains that a certain texture and coherence of the aliment, is a necessary condition tcn impart digestibility. Geletinous substances ere difficult of digestion, in con sequence of their evading, as it were, the mechanical action of the stomach, and preventing from their te nacity, the absorption of their More fluid parts. "It is; perhaps, not possible to appreciate or . express the exact degree of consistence or firmness 'which will con fer the highest order of digestibility upon food ; indeed this zero may vary in different individuals, but we are taught by experience, tint( no meat is so digestible as tender mutton ; when well Conditioned, it appears to possess that degree of consistence which is most con genial to the stomach. Weilder mutton is in_perfec mon at five, ewe mutton at two years old. Beef ,is not so easy of digestion, but it' is equally nutritive, however, will depend upon the period which has elaped since the death of the animal, and still More upon the method of cookery." The author then proceeds to giSe an account of the different modes of cookery, as boiling, roasting, frying, broiling, baks ing,!&c. : He consolers frying as the most objection able, since the heat is supplied through the means of boiling- oil,or fat, .which is rendered empyreumatie, and therefore extremely liable to disagree with the aitainach iidr does he appear to think better of baking, for he oliServemi, " the peculiarity of this process de !petals upon the substance being heated in a confined syiee,, which does not ! permit the escaped the fumes arising iisnit it : the Meat is therefOre, frown the reten ,sion.of i ts s Juicier, r endered more sepia and tender.— But baked memo are not. .so, easily digested, Ot t aceoui is of the greater'retention of their oils,, which are inure 'over in an empyreumatie.- Wye: , Such dishes, there fire, require the stimulus of' va s rixnts condiments to in. Crease the digestive powers of the stomach." With re. %pia . to drinking at oar meals,. the author has offered ,some sensible remarks,;---if the stomach be distendei with fluid, its solid Contents cannot be digested, where. . , as, if the latter be too bird ur dry, its necessary change, by the churning 'of the stomach cannot, he accomplish. ad., - and the progress of digestion will be impeded.— Nature, no tloubt, intended that the appetite for f oo t slitadd lie first satisfied, before a supply of drink be conies necessary ; and should our food possess that, degree 'Of succidence which chatitterizes digestible aliments, there will be'no occasion for it during the Meal. if we eat too fast, thirst will be oceaaicmed, because the food being swallowed without n due olds mixture of saliva will form a dry mass in the sto mach. "It is during the intervals of our solid meals that the Iliptids necessary for the repair of out fluids should be taken ; and both theory nod experience appear in this. respect to eonfOrtn, and to demonstrate the advantage winch attends a liquid repast about four or fise hours after the solid ;meal. At about this -period the chyle has entered its proper vessels, and is HoWing into the blood, in order to undergo ire final ,changes s then it is that the stomach, having disposed A f ;se 'charge, ! receives the wholesome draught with the ,gteatest advantage ; their, it is, that the blood, im pregnated with new materials, requires the assistance of a diluent to complete their nuiguification, and to carry -, off , ;their superfluous matter ; and i is then ' alitit the !kidneyeand skin will require the aid of addis tinnal water to lifigint 'the performance of their func tions,. The conamon beverage of tea, or some atia logous repast, originally suggested, no doubt, by att instinctive desire for liquid at this period, is thus sanctioned by the•ory, , while its advantages anti este foltslmed by experience, Although the author regards .tiaat, wan happy " who cosonlers water the best rmk, - and salt the best sauce ;" yet lan. is very tolerant as to the Used soya, " volumes have been writ ten to proVe that spirit; in every form, is Wit only un s neceseary to those who are iti health, but that it has been the prolific source the inoat.painful and fatal dis eases to which man i 4 subject ; iii short, that Epitne theus himself 014 riot, by opening the box of Pan dora, comma a greater act of hostility against our nature, than the discoverer of fermented liquors.—, Every apartment, it is said, devoted to the circulation of sh e .glass, may be regarded as a temple set apart for thesperformance of human ! sat: notes ; anti that they Ciug,4lt to he' fitted up, like the ancient amides of Egypt, in a manner to show the real atrotity of the superstition that' is carried on within their 'rhis Dr. Paris considers as mere rent and nonsense —a striking spccimea of the fallacy ref reason, ins against theatse of i t custorivfrom its abuse.

'This being the Sabbath, I naturally expected to be much edi fied by the devout manner in, which it would be observed by a fine people, who are such stout sticklers for their faith ; so I ruse early, and wandered forth into the streets to see. It was a beau tiful morning—the sun was shining in all his glory, and the great red salmon were glancing up into his beams from the pure hrnad waters of Lough Corrihb, which flow through the middle of the town, flashing and sparkling among fragments of rock in their way to mingle with the vast Atlantic. Kurrn'l /Warren 1" roared a gruff voice dose behind me, and turning round to , Nee whose voice it was, I beheld a fine peasant—hairy as the son of Sycorax, crook-knee'd, and dew-lapp'd like a 'Ream lian bull, large Yellow weather-beaten and lime-burnt whiskers adorned hiS long red face ; no shirt he had ; no shoes, no stock ing, and very little trousers ; but he had half a flannel jacket on hichack, and half an ounce of tobacco in his mouth—the pun gent juices whereof spirted spiritedly forth as he spoke. " Kurrn'l Marren !" he repeated, flourishing his fine broomstick round my head. " I for him ! Say the good word for Kurrn'l Marren, or, by .T s, 1 shall knock the back of your skull off!"--" Well, my fine friend," said I, " you need not put yourself in a passion. Here's a good word for Colonel , Martin !"—" It's well for ye! or yur brains ud be scatthert about yur ears at this pre sent time," growled the fine animal, shambling slowly away, from me, and swopping down on the broad of his back against the wall of the bridge ; but still gloWering at • me, , and gripping his beautiful broomstick,• as though he had more than half a mind to he seedthering my brains ; and T, well knowing I had none to spare, got them out of his way as quickly as I could—without running.— Well, from the bridge of Lough Corribb, • and the company of my fine friend, the yellow Culiban above-mentioned, I passed tip oue of the principal streets, and at the open door of a respectable look ing house stood a tine brawny, upright, tierce-looking jondentan with open collar, green handkerchief tied loosely round his neck —waistcoat of a bright brimstone colour, trousers white us the driven chalk, and a regular broad-brimmed Dublin drab tile on the very summit of his cranium; and he was calling to his friend within the house—" Dennis O'Shatighnessy !--Dennis; I say !" " What is it?" said another font/man—popping his head out of the drawing-room window, with a fine cauliflower of " soap lather,". covering the neether half of his visage ;—" what is it ?" demanded Come out o' that," replied the jantleman at the door, looking up to him—" Come out o' that, Dennis Q'Shaugh, nessy—dam y'r sowl ! ;lan% ye going tu mass?" Throughout the day the streets swarmed with freeholders ; .and towards evening they began to drop in from the country thicker and faster. • Monday, July 3. Mr. Martin, at the close of the poll on Saturday evening, was only 387 behind Mr. Lambert, and this morning the polling was chiefly in his favour,--if nut entirely so ; for it is service of dan ger to vote fur Mr. Lambert now,-*though Mr. 'Lambert is as staunch an emancipator as Mr. Martin. Things were in this state until about one o'clock, when a fresh levy of more than 400 freehowlders,---real or soi-disant,—eame in from the mountains, howling " Ksrryu'l Martin for ever ! ! There were among them two bagpipers and a couple of almost naked lads, the one with a tambourine, and the other with a fife; but the tambourine was cracked, the fife would not squeak, the bagpipes were quite rith uxatic, and the musicians were hurried along so rapidly by the howling, jumping crowd, that no music could be heard, nothing hut " Shoo-alt,' wheo-ith,•.erom aboo-ah, mushagrah ! I for him ! Sqarra Maren—the Kurryn'l!

In the first place, then, after they have enterell the town, - and howled themselves hoarse, according to their instructions, the agents refresh them with a lump of haMbaked bread and a glass of whisky each. After this they are - assorted and•dietributed into the booths appointed to to the respective baronies; and there the oath are administered - to them in gangs of twenty or thirty, through the maditim of interpreters.L.foiTnot one, in . ten of theM can speak one , word of English.

This very night I saw several gangs so supped and so folded ; and I heard one poor fellow, us he came. out of the baker's shop, eagerly gnaw ing the lump of bread, say, " God bless liquarr Mart.'n—l wish he was putting up all the year, and then, may be, I'd get a loaf every day!" Nevertheliss, under this fine system, Mr. Martin polled 95 thereby reducing his minority from 387 to 192; and; as he hat still two days and a half to poll, and nobody votes for Mr. Lam bert since his friends pistolled poor Jerry Sullivan, there is little doubt that Mr. Martin will again get a teat.

On a former occasion we mentioned in our report of the proceedings of the Royal Society, the reading of the' Bakerian lecture for the present year, by Sir H. Davy, P. R. S., and proMised our readers - some - fur ther account of it. This we are now en a bled to give, but, owing to the extensive nature of the subject, our limits will only admit of a brief sketch of its main out line. It contains' a variety of investigations on the re lations of electrical anti chemical Changes, in which the distinguished author has adranced to one or two per fectly novel and highly important principles upon which those changes: depend. The first part of the lec ture is occupied by a most luminous historical . review of the progress hitherto made in this branch of inquiry ; and the author states that his original theory, which refers all chemical action to electrical attractions and repulsions, has now stood the test of 20 years, and has solved every phenomenon ; and it is not less the foundation of the present researches. The equilibrium produced and maintained by galvanic action, is here examined, and the condition on which it depends investigated with reference to the nature of the combination. The accumulation of electricity, in such combinations, is also strikingly illustrated. Among other curious facts, a portion of a galvanic circuit, when detached, was found to•possess an independent action, contrary to that of the original circuit. We cannot enter further into these curious researches, but may mention that the paper concludes with several valuable practical sug gestions. The whole will be lead with the highest interest, when the next part of the transaction appears. Our readers will remember that a few weeks ago .we announced the intention of Mr. : Airy, the cele brated Mathematician at , Cambridge, of proceeding to Cornwall, for the purpose of carrying on a series of investigationain one of the deepest raines,.in order to ascertain the dei sky of the — earth. This gentleman, with several scientific associates, had been engaged for nearly' a month in the depths of Dolcoath Mine, when their labours were suddenly terminated by a most un fortunate and singular accident; whether Pluto was en raged with this intrusion into his sacred dominions, and burnt their machinery by his torch, Ave . are not able to state, but upon the removal of the apparatus by means of a rope, the cord Caught fire, and the whole of the scientific instruments were dashed to atoms. It is supposed that a miner, who was working near the spot, had. accidentally thrown a lighted candle upon the rope. . . BARBERS. Humble and insignificant as is this unfortunate class of tradesmen hi these days of refinement, yet there was a time when members of this guild held their heads as high as their more fortunate brethren in trade, and claimed to rank not only on equality with, but even before surgeons and physicians, and those who were cunning to use the mystery of Fysyk." -Not only in point of rank were the Bathers a worshipful company, but their approximation to the persons of Kings and Emperors,. and other great men, and the familiarity which no doubt they ever and anon held witl► their patients; whilst they . re 140,140: Aug th►e ton sorial operation, all contributed to add mightily to their influence, and raise their trade or profession, in the eyes of courtiers and sense, of the vulgar also. Alas ! how are the mighty fallen--be hold them now rejected and scorned ; tripping like lamplighters,, through the streets, and flitting like ghosts,. so rapid and salight their. movements, from house'to house, in search of chins to reap or heads to Mow'. contrast is, in truth, :lamentable enough. Their present lot compared with that of by-gone days, is wretchedness personified, for the change has brought not only disrepute, but a lack of gold-not. only a ces sation of their influence,' but a cessation of their . profit§, i also. Look at.the physician in his varni s h e d pill-box,,--look at the surgeon—the dentist —nay, even the ebiropedist, and every member of every b ranc h. o f the " mystery of fysyk, rolling in heaps of gold, swaying and influencing 'monarchs and lords, and bearing their.honours not with meekness and humili ty., but with all the pride and arrogance of wealth allied to a full consciousness of their own importance in the scale of society. Alas !, my barbers Lilo* are the mighty fallen ! in the year 1540, an Act was passed for uniting the two companies of barbers and surgeons ; but which were again disunited in the 18th year of the late King. The connection of a barber with a medical profession was, however, for mostthe part confined to the sur geons, between whom physicians there has always been a grand distinction, and which ha 4 been carried so far as to produce very serious misunderstandings, tni was the case in France, when the physicians revenged themselves, by supporting the barbers, in their quar relsilv with the s ans. Of the importance of the bar bers in former tunes, and the influence they exerdsed in the state, very many examples occur in history, and as an instance, we select the following :—Trypho was barber to Herod, King of the Jews, and excited the suspicions and jealousy of that tyrant, by accusing one Tero, tot old and faithfulTsoldier of the King, of a design to slay the King, and set 'Alexander, the King's son, in his stead. The Son of rero was extremely mate with Alexander, and Trypho accused him (Tero) of endeavouring to persuade him to cut the King's throat with his razor when he trimmed him.* in consa- Auenee of which Teri) anti his San were' racked, and afterwards, on the evidence so extorted, put to death, together with Trypho himself, who thus fell a righteous victim to his own machinations. Barbers in France generally attended, and were in fact the surgeons of the. army, and al wa ya followed it wl4thers oever i t marched ; and m oreover , it should seem th at t hi s worshipful company of b a rbers have always been more 'highly respected amongst . the.. French than here in England..

The King's Barber is also entitled to a fee for shaving a Knight of the Bath at his creation, as Well as 40 shillings from a Baron, 100 froM an Earl, and - 101. from a Duke, when these dignities - are newly con ferred--a ceremony, we hope, for the credit of the fraternity, the King's Barber, whosoever he is, did not fail to see duly observed, on occasion of the late crea tion of Peers._ The antiquity of the profession is beyond dispute, as they date its introduction back many hundred years before the Christian era. Thus Polydor Virgil says, that Medea was the first who stained his hair, but the Abrantes fi were the first who used to shave them selves ; And moreover it was a custom with this na tion to dedicate the first fruits of the chin to the Delphic god, for it seems they entertained a notion that a man could fight better hand to hand without his hair than with it. P. Ticinius Mena was the first who brought the barbers from Sicily into Italy, 454 years after the building of Rome ; but it was Afri canus who first introduced the practice of daily shaving himself. t The Abantes were a nation of Greece, and first inhabited that part of it which we call the Morea, but subsequently migrated to an island now known by the name of Negropont. ST. OLAVE'S HART-STREET. On Thursday a General Meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of St Olave, Hart-street, was held in the Vestry. • A little before the time of meeting, Dr. Owen attended, and took possession of the chair, by virtue of his right as rector. The report was read by the Chairman. It detailed the pro ceedings which had taken place on the subject since the former report, and represented that the enormous grievance under which this and other parishes suffered, in respect of tithes, was now begining to he appreciated by all classes. The CHAIRMAN stated, that they had proposed to give the Doctor qmot. instead of 8,0001. provided that the Bishop of London would consent that the stipend of the future incumbents should not exceed 800/. instead of the exorbitant sum of 1,8001. per annum, and provided that a bill was carried through Parlia ,ment to this effect. They wrote to the Bishop, and expressed their hopes that he would consider the proposed stipend for the present and future incumbents liberal, when he recollected that the living was vested in the elders of the parish for the inhabit ants. His Lordship acknowledged the receipt of their letter, but seemed to think that their proposal could not be entertained.— What was their astonishment'on hearing him express his surprise in the House of Lords, that it had gone to the extent mentioned, and•declare that there was but one course left for him to pursue with respect to it—namely, "to stigmatize it with his most de cided reprobation." The public were led by these observations to suppose that they had entered into sonic surreptitious or im proper bargain with the Doctor. As the proposal originated with the Doctor, they had sent a respectful letter to his Lord ship, reminding him of his knowledge of the transaction; that he had not previously thought it one deserving of reprobation ; and expressing a hope that he would do them the justice of vindicat ing them from the aspersions to which they were subject in con sequence of his erroneous statement. To this letter they received no answer.—(Hear, hear !) It was moved that the report should be received and adopted. The CIIAIIiAtAN then stated that.Alr. T. Saunders, the solici tor to the tithe committee, would address them on some impor tant legal matters, which would elucidate the report. Mr. SAUNDNRS, in the course of his observations, said, he would particularly advert to the case of " Macdougall against Young," which had been lately tried before the Lord Chief Jus tice in the Court of Common Pleas. This case was of the greatest public importance, u the question of the enrolment of the decree of the :17th of Henry VIII., on which Dr. Owen founded his claim to the 2s. thi. in the pound, was brought to issue before a jury, and would ever stand on record against the Rev. Chairman, and those who claimed with him. Owies,...—This is quite irrelevant; it is illegal. You have no right to he Mt. SA 11 N the parishioners want any legal assistance to determine that point, they have their proper otlicers—the ves try-clerk; and I appeal to him to decide it. Mr. BAKZa, the vestry-clerk.—There is ❑o doubt, Mr. Saun ders may attend as legal adviser or asaistant. Dr. don't want any aesistant. Is it legal? You certainly are a proper person to decide. • Mr. ilwaita.—l am warranted by the established practice of other parishes, by the general practice of public bodier, and even by decided cases, in saying that the vestry may permit whom it pleases to be present, and to make any statement relative to the mutter before it. _ A Parithioner.—There cannot be a doubt upon it. Counsel, as well as solicitors, are constantly heard us a matter of right at all meetings. Dr. Ow Ex (to Mr. Suundsrs.)--You may go on, but I pro test against it as illegal, and I wish it to be entered in the mi nutes. Mr. Roten.----You stopped Mr. Saunders when you found he was going on with matter that was not quite agreeable. Then, with a mock humility, you appeal to the vestry clerk for his opinion. Now, when he h.* given it against you, you perse vere in the interruption. Is the meeting to be. intuited in this way?...•L(Upruar, and the doctor and three or four parishioners speaking at once.) Mr. BAaEIt.—I wish to Lave the very words of the protest. Dr. 0 wni. .....y 0u may Dr. Owen here observed it was illegal." Mr. HAKIM —But I must be strictly correct; and I cannot be, unless I have the words in writing. Dr. Owen then gave in a writes protests The CHAMMAN of the committee said, the parishioners had been so much calumniated, and the legal as well as equitable grounds of their proceedings so much misrepresented, that it was absolutely necessary to secure. to their solicitor an uninterrupted hearing. , Dr. OwEtt—Go on, Mr. Saunders; but mind, I protest agisimit it. • Mr. SAUNDIMS said it was important that they should' under stand that this cu of " Macdougal v. Young" was an ac ti on o f debt, upon the decree under the 37th of Henry N'III. cap. 12, fur tithes, at the rate of 2s. 9d. in the pound in rent of the defendant's house, in St. Helen's-place, in the parish of St. Helen's, Bishops gate, which would amount to 181. 11s. 3d. per ann. The evi dence brought to prove the enrolment of the decree completely ne gatived the proposition. Mr. Carter Draper was called ; and he stated that he had searched at the Rolls Chapel e& til U - w hi c h was the proper place to find the decree if enrolled, but it was not to be found. He searched from 1546 to 1565, and found a number of documents enrolled about that date, but not this decree. There was no break or discontinuation in the rolls, but all of them were in order and perfect. So much for proof of the enrolment, which it was also clear could not have taken place, because there was no mark, or time least trace of its ever having been attached to the original ( Hear, hear !') , , _fl „„. On the moti on o f Mr. BACKLIK AU, it was resol ve d, t h at an early ve stry should be convened, to consider what further means should be adopted. Mr. ROLPII then rose with a bundle of papers. He spread them over the table, and took up a newspaper containing the re port of a l ate tr i a l at t h e qua rter sessions, in which th ere were animadversions upon the conduct of Dr. Owen, as a magist rate at Highgate. Every one was in breathless expe c t a ti on , and the orator had put'himself in a preparatory attitude, when Dr'. Owen suddenly quitted the chair. Mt.
